Hi! I'm just a 17 years old girl from Russia. I'm new to Oni Community, but I really love this game! Currently I'm trying to explore GeySer's [[Lightmapping levels|lightmapping method]] with new software. | Hi! I'm just a 17 years old girl from Russia.

Second ''Objective'' ^_^ of my work is to change level geometry a bit (but it is not random changing). I'm trying to re-create look&feel of PRE-Beta levels, but this project is just starting right now (and not really successfully). The only improvement (not counting Lightmaps) that stays in Work-In-Progress stage is Transparent Railings in TCTF HQ (as [[Pre-beta content#TCTF Regional Headquarters|here]], in '''"The Atrium"''' section). When I'll finish it, I'll upload the resulting images and compressed ''7-Zip'' file with level to my | Second ''Objective'' ^_^ of my work is to change level geometry a bit (but it is not random changing).

But the '''main''' issue with UDIM is still ''exist'': does OniSplit support UDIM and can COLLADA geometry with UDIM UVs be imported into Oni correctly? | But the '''main''' issue with UDIM is still ''exist'': does OniSplit support UDIM and can COLLADA geometry with UDIM UVs be imported into Oni correctly? | ||

The third and the most important thing is Radiosity (as it was said on GeySer's '[[Lightmapping_levels#Radiosity|lightmapping levels]]' page). I do ''not'' use old Blender for Radiosity calculations, because it has some big limitations. I use '''Autodesk 3D Studio''' for Radiosity calculations, because its implementation of '''''Progressive Refinement Radiosity renderer''''' is much more ''flexible'' than Blender's. Originally, Progressive Refinement Radiosity renderer was introduced in '''''LightScape Visualization System (1995)''''' ( | The third and the most important thing is Radiosity (as it was said on GeySer's '[[Lightmapping_levels#Radiosity|lightmapping levels]]' page).

All its Radiosity techniques were transfered to 3D Studio <u>VIZ</u> (later, to a <u>regular</u> 3D Studio), so for now '''3D Studio 2011''' is my choice ^_^. | ||
